RubyRS4 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) Of course, tow the car out there, and ensure the vehicle towing is in road worthy condition ... or you can do what the NS boys do, and drive the car out there with front bumper missing, fmic in-ya-face, and then whinge about how the cops pulled you into a defect station and defected you Edited November 10, 2008 by RubyRS4 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/244095-so-if-i-want-to-drift-one-day/#findComment-4251085 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewJZX100 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) As for costs and requirements. A normal prac day is about $125 last time I went out. $10 at the gate $90 to go on the track (or it may be $80 I can't remember ) $25 for a one-day CAMS licence Then theres a full tank of petty, tyres and whatever else you might chew through. I used to budget about $250-$300 each prac, as I'd just get cheap as possible second hand tyres for the back from the various tyre places I've worked at over the years I've never towed my car out, just make sure your car is presentable (or drive a JZX100, the coppers waved me through last prac in my 100, they probably thought I was someones parent in a Camry going out there to watch ) Edited November 10, 2008 by AndrewJZX100 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/244095-so-if-i-want-to-drift-one-day/#findComment-4251088 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISC-Performance Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 KE70 is also a good cheap drift car, even S12's/Gazzelle if you can find one.

AndrewJZX100 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 AE86 aka tureno if you can find one that cheap yeah good luck with that. Go the 31 if you just wanna go out and thrash something. Take your 34 out there if you want to learn more about the car/driving in general. Once you get over the fear of bending a good car its much more fun.

*flick* Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 agree with those that said to get a KE of some sort or your good old 31! Then budget for tow/trailor, entry, get some 2nd hand tyres.. Ive just picked myself up a KE35 for $300 and will doing a few basic mods (welded diff, stiffer springs) and taking it out to drift prac next early next year! Eventually tho id love to go to something like an S13.. but all depends how I go.
